Safe and secure
A healthier computer.
Apple builds the computer and the software that comes with it. Since they’re literally made for each other, a Mac rarely freezes or crashes. A Mac is designed with security in mind.
Mac OS X is built on a rock-solid UNIX foundation to make it resistant to computer viruses, so you won’t have to worry about losing all your hard work. To be extra safe, Safari, the Apple web browser, alerts you whenever you’re downloading an application. And Apple makes free security updates available for Mac owners to download automatically.
